Unusually Large Breasts o.O;;
Okay...I've calmed down now and don't hate life right now. I have to read Fast Food Nation for my English class. There are some interesting, yet scary things in it. I was reading about McNuggets in here. It says they're reconstituted meat held together by stabilizers... That sounds weird. This things took off in the 80s because people thought they were healthier than burgers, because it was chicken not beef. But this thought was wrong. A chemical analysis by a researcher at a Harvard Medical School showed that their "fatty acid profile" was more like beef than poultry. It also seems they contain twice as much fat per ounce as a hamburger. o.O;; Since McNuggets were so great, Tyson made a new breed of chicken they dubbed "Mr. McDonald," which had unusually large breasts. XD
The book moves on to say that beef consumption peaked in 1976 and has since then been on the decline. But for some reason the idea to give cattle growth hormones sounded like a good idea. So now we have even more beef that we don't need, and bigger cattle. Well, it won't sell on the American market and the Europeans don't want it, because they're smart and banned the use of bovine growth hormones. Damn those smart Europeans.

If cattle ingests growth hormones and we eat cattle then shouldn't we eat more cattle to grow? Essentially, we'll be getting those growth hormones as well...hmmm.
haha, does that make any sense?
